Force feedback?

[Talisman_VR]

Hi Folks,

Thinking about trying the Tomcat, but I use a MS2FF joystick.  Does the Tomcat model support force feedback for joysticks?

Thanks.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Yes, and the implementation is excellent.

I saw a video on youtube showing the stick shaking like crazy. Looks pretty arcade

Isn't, just looks that way. Feels great when using it.

What do you think happens when you're pulling 30 units AoA- that is, twice the onset of buffet?  Should it be like stirring a martini?

I don't know, still looks a bit excessive to my liking:

Have you tried it? Personally have you tried it? Youtube videos can't demonstrate the feel of it properly. It feels right! I for one don't know what I would do if my MSFFBB2 failed, I would definitely try to get another one somewhere.

 that much of shake on the ground/stationary makes it look like a vibrator to me. These meant to produce artificial resistance for ease of trimming. I am glad you're happy though, have fun

Well you are wrong. Shaking doesn't affect anything other than your feel, you can control it (by gripping the stick more firmly) and you can easily control the aircraft without the shake affecting your inputs. It effectively translates what you see on the screen, to your hand. If the plane or cockpit doesn't shake, neither does the stick. To me that's a something that is extremely immersive, especially in VR.

Go pull an aircraft through the AoA range into the pebbles and boulders. Tell us what you feel.

I have just started the free trial period for the Tomcat and I am loving it. 

I use a MSFF2 joystick and the FF is brilliant.  

I also use a JetPad/JetSet with SimShaker for Aviators software which, combined with the FF joystick, haptic headset and VR is extremely immersive indeed.  Especially in a guns dogfight.  I think the dev's have done a great job with this aircraft.   

I will be going for full purchase on this one.  Thanks for getting back to me regarding FF lunaticfringe, much appreciated.

Happy landings,

Talisman
